What are you doing today?

Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
I haven't quite made my mind up yet. You see, I have got a lot of coursework, roughly about 80 pages to do - and the issue with it is although the last 60 or so I can get done easy (for example, up to 6 pages an hour), the first 20 require thinking, and I'm not sure I'm in a thinking mood. They'll probably take me a lot longer. Stupid writeups. But this is all due in may 4th, so I dont have a lot of time to do it. Really, I should have been halfway through a week and a half ago. Now is panic time.

But, buring your head in the sand can do wonders. Should I just chill out for a bit? I'm not seeing my girlfriend today, so I've got all day. And tomorrow probably not seeing her till the evening. Sat. I've got work, but then I've got sun to myself. Mon school then free time, tues school then work, weds school then young enterprise, thurs school then work, fri school then rest day (friday is my rest day, well, along with sunday :p).

Then after that, its hand in date - final hand in date - on may 4th. Ideally I should have it all finished for mon 24th so I can have it pre-checked. I can easily do a little bit of high quality, but I'll get low marks, but doing a lot of low quality, I'll get low marks. Doesn't matter, I only need 12/24 - equivelent to a D grade I think.

Just moving my arse and doing it really. In real life its not going to help me, I'm just jumping through hoops to get a piece of paper, I spend more time revising into things I'm going to do at uni these days anyway :confused: but you still need the grades I suppose. Anyone got any tips on getting started?

Oh and, more importantly, what are you up to today, either if you're slogging your guts out (poor you *hug*) or if you're enjoying easter hols :).

    Relax for a bit and see how you feel later, there is no point getting stuck into it if your really not in the mood... you wont get anything done...

    not enough? :(

    Why dont you speak to your manager. A saying I like to use (occasionally ;)) is if you don't ask, you don't get! Ask for a promotion! :cool:

    Thing is, I'm so bored I cant even be bothered to play computer games. Would love to spend my whole day just on thesite and on ebay, looking at digital cameras and which one is the best deal. Heh :/

    Yea I should really. Where should I start, do ya reckon?

    Task 1:

    "write a specification of the system. Include all features of the system" - nice and descriptive :confused:

    other guide thingy says

    "Produce designs for all of the screens, reports and menus/switchboards that will be present in the database, on paper. When producting these designs:
    - Present your planes in a format such that a reasonably competent person could take them and make a start on setting up your system
    - Make them legible and near
    - Annotate the designs to help explain the screen, report or menus/switchboards
    - Do no use screen dumps from the actual system as part of your design plans

    When attemptiong this task you will need to consier the type of information that the user of the system will be interested in obtaining from the database. Refer to task 3c"

    I've done task 3, but got 1,2,4,5 to do :( (task 3 is the actual work, task 1 + 2 are the plans, 4 + 5 the write up). Sigh. If only I had a nudge in the right direction rather than not having a clue if what I was writing was any good or rubbish.

    The problem is, I know it all, its just, I've got an anal teacher and if its not structured in the right way or jumping through the right hoops, he'll mark me down. But I am approaching the point of 'wtf i dont care anymore aaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrgggggggghhhhhhhhhhh'

    1. Yes, I blame you :p

    2. Cos she's just starting saying Dada and J gets home at 6pm, she has to be able to say Mama too or I'll never hear the end of it!
